When the Night Gets Heavy

Verse

I kept your picture by the window

Where the morning finds the room

I tell myself I’m getting better

But every silence sounds like you

I’ve been walking through the city

With my hands inside my sleeves

Trying not to call your number

Trying harder not to grieve

Pre-chorus

And if the dark comes crashing in

I don’t know where to start

I built a house around the pain

Now it’s living in my heart

Chorus

When the night gets heavy, who will hold me close?

When my faith gets shaky, where am I supposed to go?

I don’t need a savior, I just need somebody real

Someone who can find me

When I forget how to feel

Verse

I see your shadow in the doorway

Hear your laughter in the rain

Every song we used to dance to

Turns the memory into flame

Maybe love is just a lesson

Maybe hearts are meant to bend

But I still leave a light on

Like you might come back again

Pre-chorus

And if the dark comes crashing in

I don’t know where to start

I built a house around the pain

Now it’s living in my heart

Chorus

When the night gets heavy, who will hold me close?

When my faith gets shaky, where am I supposed to go?

I don’t need a savior, I just need somebody real

Someone who can find me

When I forget how to feel

Bridge

I’ve been running, running from the truth

That I was more alive when I was next to you

But I’m learning, learning how to breathe

Even broken wings can carry me

If you hear me, hear me through the noise

I’m not asking you to be my only choice

Just remind me, when the world turns cold

I can still be loved

I can still come home

Chorus

When the night gets heavy, I will hold my own

When my faith gets shaky, I won’t face it all alone

I don’t need a savior, I just need a heart that’s real

Someone who can find me

While I’m learning how to heal

Outro

When the night gets heavy

I’ll be more than what I lost

Even in the lonely

I’ll remember what I’m worth
